In the shadow of dusk,
I sharpen my tusk.
I don my predatory mask,
Call me evil, call me nefarious.
I hum, I hum,
I drink human rum.
You call me your chum
and I will strike with venom.
I can see that crimson flow,
hide in a palace or a ghetto.
Fear me, I am your foe!
I am the queen, I am the mosquito.
(Posting this to clarify that the previous one was not about mosquitoes
. Thanks to Umashankar for helping me with this post. By the way, do you think it’s time for me to shut down this blog now because I am not able to write anything
?)




The rapiers of words pierce not unlike the tusks sharpened at dusks. The jarring diction matches the subject perfectly as the venom is spread in ghettos and palaces alike.
Kill your blog? Bad command or filename.
nope. will not kill my blog. my blog has to bore all the visitors to death
Hahaaha…Very good Debajyoti.
‘i drink human rum’ …liked it.
thanx but those r not my lines
. The person who helped me with these lines is one of the best writers in blogsphere.
nice poem
i am the queen
fear me
thank u so much
Hu says ur blog bores people? This was a hilarious one indeed
wanna see more such posts by u.
thank u so much. glad u liked it.
Shut down this blog? We shall not hear of it.
This poem is good. Clap, clap, clap, clap. It makes more sense than previous one and it’s something we can all relate to. Evil indeed… I know how much of my B+ rum these foes of mine have enjoyed.
Do you really need the second ‘the’ in the first line? I think it would sound better without it.
i guess u r right. deleting that extra the. actually i wanted to make some more changes but who is going to read anyway
Who’s going to read anyway? You were wrong again. Look at the number of votes and comments that have come your way. I hope you given up the thought of shutting down this blog. Now that there’s a cool site and all, blog away, blog away… you have a long way to go.
votes r less because my new blog doesn’t have an indirank
. i m not going to shut down my blog coz i have nothing to do now. and as long as i have visitors like u who would appreciate even a mosquito poem, i m going to continue
check out this comment reply plug in which i installed. it will mail u the comment reply even if u don’t want
I look forward to the picture of mosquitoes and many many more of your poems.
replying back to ur second comment primarily because i want to increase the comment count and also to double check the reply plug in
mosquito picture, definitely, i ll put that soon. and i m going to write many many poems now coz it’s simple. get few words which rhyme and put them somewhere, that’s it. hardly takes 15 minutes
oops, correction. replying back to ur second comment SEPARATELY.
Man… you rhyme with venom. That was hilarious really.
you written well and should continue… keep writing..
well that’s not something what i do usually i.e. poetry and writing well. thanks for ur visit. do come back again.
thank u for the smiley. and yours is the 1000th comment on my blog
.
We are honoured to join in your 1000th comment, hopefully we could able to share happiness with you in your 10000, 1ooooo, and even in your 10000000 th comment. A smile can express more meaning than hundreds of words
absolutely, a smile can express more than hundred words. thank u so much for these kind words.
Hey Debajyoti!
thank u so much Amit. like those smileys
Do these lines qualify as nonsense verse? Ask the Master, maybe?
i really don’t know Zephyr. just put whatever rhymed
master said it’s cool
thanks a lot for reading my stupid poem. i ll write one more next week
Nice bug, Deb.
it’s a cool bug trying to help me revive my blog
. thanx Subho
What for? We are promoting your poetry now. continue please, we may have some great lyrics in days to come.
i will tell u my plan. see, i m too lazy to write anything and with great difficulties manage to write one post per week which is not good enough for my blog. so i have decided from now on i will write one poem as well along with that solitary post every week
. howz the plan? will u promote two posts of mine per week?
Fire on, let the creative juices flow. I will learn poetry appreciation and promote all your posts!
I bet a indian politcian is also singing the same
lovely little poem …
Bikram’s
thanx a lot Bikram
HAHAHA…After a long time i have been able to lay my hands on your post & you talk of quitting?Be warned-i can send a thousand bugs from here- each one one deadlier than osama.
don’t worry about not being able to read my posts. u can visit anytime and read them. thanx for ur comment.
good one !
Thank u
alright so now we do have a poem on mosquitoes !
yup i had to. just to clear the confusion. thanx rahul
Well, they are not about mosquitoes. I get it.
. I’d love to continue reading your work. keep going.
Kill your blog? No way, you got to drink some more of human rum before that
thanx a lot. i ll drink all the human rum available on earth
. plz visit whenever u have time. And ur post was supercool
Now, this one I like, I understood it and it was funny. Also, since I got eaten alive by the creatures you’ve paid homage to, this is all very relevant to me. Good going. This one leads me to believe, you may be able to make a livelihood by writing, now.
do u think so? didn’t know writing about mosquitoes can yield dividends. by the way, this one was just a cheap imitation of the works of some of the great bloggers. having said that, i m going to continue doing this, yup. cheers
Good going Deb
oh i m going to continue with these
. doesn’t take much time and i have a new post for my blog. so u have to read a lot of these in future.
thank u so much Vinay
Who’s bored, Deb? Not the mosquito. Not your readers for sure. Not those who stop by, read and comment. Then who? Oh ! now I realise. It’s you ! :- P
i m bored
on top of that i m not able to write anything. mosquitoes are not bored, they r having fun, currently there r quite a few of them around me reading ur comment. readers r also bored, they have abandoned my blog
Funny poem. Nice way with the words. Wondering why you should even consider killing the blog?
hahaha. thank u so much. no no i m not killing my blog, just mentioned it to get few extra comments
Ha ha…wish there was a ‘Like’ button here. Nice comment!
Interesting perception to a mosquito’s life.. Never thought it that way.. The first parah got me.. So very true…
thank u so much. even i never thought it that way till i got some rhyming words
. thanx again for the comment
Funny One! Even I liked the line on human rum
thank u so much but these r not my lines.
Hi
But they blended perfectly with the other lines…
well, after my friend suggested me those lines, i had to write this mosquito poem. and somehow managed to get few rhyming words to go with those lines
Hope the mosquitoes read this…they’re going to loooove the thought that a rare soul chose to write a dedicated poem on them!!
no everyone thought my previous poem was about mosquitoes hence this revolutionary work. moreover, i got inputs from my friend so it was cool
. and may be i ll get a like button for comments
Ha ha, the mosquitonomics
How about cockroaches? But be careful, you might irritate your female fans with this extremely creepy creature and force them to run for cover, never to return here again
hahaha
but cockroach is not a bad idea. a tribute to the oldest living insect.
